I just wanted to say hello with my first post.  I was camping at Clear Lake when you had your last club tournament.  My wife and I rode our bicycles to the swimming beach and tried out a few of the kayaks that were being demonstrated.  It was a great time.  It sure sounded like you guys had a great evening.  We could hear the festivities after dinner from our camp site.  I spoke to a few of the guys on the beach and had a good conversation with a member that let me check out his yak at the edge of the swimming beach.  Really nice guy and gave me some good information.  I would have gotten more but he had to run to  the outhouse  :smt003.  Anyway, I bought a Hobie Revolution that was used 2 times from a friend.  He gave me an extra set of turbo fins, a set of Hobie launch wheels and an almost new boat for 1K.  With that savings I bought a new Hobie Outback and gave the Revo to my wife.  I have many, many years of ocean and freshwater fishing experience.  I have owned 8 Boston Whalers, 1 Proline, 1 Sea-ox and two Zodiac's.  Now I"m back to a yak.  Looking forward to seeing some of you guys on the lakes and beach.  I am retired and can fish any day of the week.  This is a great site guys/gals and look forward to being more involved and posting my first pics and fishing reports.

Thanks all.  I can't wait to get the new boat in the water.  Still gearing up and reading all the safety and kayak fishing tips.

I'm off every day!  Feel free to let me know if you would like to head out.  I'm in.  Whenever you get one of those "sick" days when the water is flat, I can go with a few hours notice.
